I could tell from the pick-ups thread that this is what you were starting...I had done the same a while back but decided to sell that collection (t205) and focus on my HOF rookie thing. It's hard when the material I'm looking for is simply not there and I need something to fill my "collecting crave". But what a beautiful set! Good luck!

BTW, I had never noticed how much the Gardner sticks out as an oddball because of the box on the bottom with his name, etc. I knew there was always something different about it but never noticed until seeing it side-by-side with other T205's.

Default Nice

That's a nice looking group. I'm working on the set too right now. I've been able to pick up a lot of my cards either raw or in P-G grades that look nice and cost me a bit less than higher graded cards that look worse IMO. Got both of these from the BST.

Greats cards Leon. Definitely one of my favorite sets. Nice Cobb too. That's another one on my seemingly never ending want list.

Default T205

Great cards!

I have been picking up T205 cards this month as well. I have 28 eversince New Year Eve. I think I will go for 50 T205 per year for next 4 years and I should be able to nail my first pre-war set!

How do you guys sort them in?

Best,
Danny

Up to 132 out of 152 possibilities on my T205 front/ reverses Cubs collection. My collection is all over the board from SGC 10 to SGC 80 slabbed cards. Fun to collect and awesome to lood at. Find of the commons that American Beauty and a fer other isolated cards are harder to find.

I've been working on a low grade version of this set for a decade or so. I'm not collecting the minor leaguers, so by and large my version of "complete" will be 196 cards. I'll probably pick up four variations to make it an even 200 since I am considering framing it for my basement someday.

Currently I have 167 cards. It's mostly 1's and 2's, with a few 3's and 4's in there. I'm one of those people who liberate cards from PSA/SGC holders.

Since I track the exact cost, so far I have spent $5,272.93 putting this together card by card (not including shipping).

I do have one broadleaf back, one Piedmont 42 & several American Beauty's. The big cards I'm missing are Cobb, Young, Wilhelm, Joss, along with a couple HOFers and a couple SP's. Also still need ~15 commons.

Fun set to collect on a low budget!
